So let’s talk about Infusing Premium Spirits…Introducing London’s Calling!
For a long time now, I’ve stopped infusing my spirits. There’s many reasons, but I gotta say, I was tired of all the ADDITIONAL bottles I was adding to my already growing (with limited space) bar. So I vowed that I would only infuse spirits if it was truly unique and would enhance the experience.
So let me stress this to you now. DON’T HESITATE TO INFUSE YOUR QUALITY TEQUILA WITH TEAS. In particular, cada día tequila reposado with earl grey. This tequila is so deep and complex on its own, but together with the tea, this did SO much. The bitterness of the earl grey actually brought out a sharpness that I swear enhanced the agave notes. The vegetal notes were brighter, and we all know my love for a good Earl Grey Cocktail.
This time around I am shaking up the classic Collins cocktail, but made premium and with cada dia tequila. I’ll admit, a Collins has always been a boring cocktail to me. BUT THIS. Well folks, you’ll be sipping this on the regular. I fell in love with it. My mom fell in love with this London’s Calling recipe. Plus it’s an easy cocktail to create at home with very little ingredients to source, letting the quality ingredients TRULY shine.
London’s Calling Ingredients
